Treats Wind-Water (Fengshui) with aversion to wind, generalized edema of the whole body, floating pulse without thirst, continuous spontaneous sweating, and no significant external heat. Also treats Interior Water (Lishui), characterized by generalized yellowish edema of the body and face, with its pulse... [Text missing].
Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄) six liang; Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏) half jin; Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Shengjiang, 生姜) three liang; Jujubae Fructus (Dazao, 大枣) fifteen pieces; Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) two liang.
The above five herbs are boiled in six sheng of water. First boil Ephedrae Herba, skim off the foam, then add the remaining herbs. Boil until three sheng remain, and divide into three doses. If aversion to wind is prominent, add one prepared Aconiti Lateralis Radix (Fuzi, 附子).
Yu Jiayan stated: Yuebi Decoction demonstrates a method of slight diaphoresis that does not induce heavy sweating, primarily aiming to regulate Ying and Wei (Nutritive and Defensive Qi). The combination of Ephedrae Herba and Gypsum Fibrosum... [Text fragmented].
Zhao Yi-de stated: Each of the Five Zang organs has its own Yin and Yang, but Spleen and Stomach reside in the center and belong to both. Thus, Earth does not independently form the four qi, but Earth forms after the Four Dimensions. Heat... reaches... benefits the Qi in the Stomach. Aversion to wind indicates Yang deficiency, hence Aconiti Lateralis Radix is added to tonify Yang. For Wind-Water, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu, 白术) is added to disperse water qi between the skin, releasing grain essence to circulate Ying and Wei, acting as guides with Ephedrae Herba and Gypsum Fibrosum to lead them into Earth. Is the name Yuebi not fitting?
Yu's discussion is clear and analytical, while Zhao's explanation carefully dissects the principles, benefiting later learners; therefore, both are recorded.
Yangming Disease presents with fever, only sweating on the head, no sweating on the body, dysuria, and thirst for drinking fluids. This is Stagnant Heat within the interior, leading to jaundice of the body and slight abdominal fullness...
Artemisiae Scopariae Herba (Yinchen, 茵陈蒿) six liang; Gardeniae Fructus (Zhizi, 栀子) fourteen pieces; Rhei Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang, 大黄) two liang.
Boil in ten dou of water. First boil Artemisiae Scopariae Herba until the volume reduces by six dou, then add the other two herbs. Boil until three sheng remain, strain, and take warm in three divided doses. When urination becomes free, urine resembles sapogen juice...
Ke Yunbo stated: Both Taiyang Disease and Yangming Disease can present with jaundice. Sweating only on the head and not on the body means heat cannot vent outward; dysuria means heat cannot drain downward... Therefore, Mahuang Lianqiao Chidou Decoction is used as a cooling dispersal method; the chest and heart represent the interior of Taiyang and Yangming, requiring cold herbs to overcome heat, thus Zhizi Bopi Decoction is used as a fire-clearing method; the intestines and stomach represent the interior of Yangming, requiring purgation from within, so this formula is established as a method to expel turbidity. Artemisiae Scopariae Herba inherits the color of the North, remains evergreen through winter, braving frost... Stagnant Heat... [Text severely fragmented/corrupted].
